Living Lyrically Teresa Lynn Johnson: LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

Thee other day you climbed a mountain

Beneath a sapphire sky

I was waiting for you darling

O’er on thee other side

But you did not run into my arms

Though I held them open wide

Instead you hit the ground

And rolled down the mountainside

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Laughter

It keeps you together

If you mix it with love

You can last forever

We all know that love may need

A little help now and then

That’s where laughter

Fits right in

~~*~~

We were invited to a fancy ball

The limo was outside

But you came out of the bedroom

Wearing nothing but a smile

Laughter...

Oh, sweet laughter

I yelled to ask if you wanted wine

In the liquor store

You yelled back “Lady are you crazy

I’ve never seen you before”

Laughter...

Oh, sweet laughter

I said “Babe let’s go to Paris

And swim beneath the silver moon”

You said “Only if you promise

Not to pack the bathing suits”
